War Department
Pension Office
February 24 th 1828
Sir I have examined the Claim of William Dixon and have found his name on one of the Rolls in this Office, but I am sorry to inform you that his name cannot be inscribed on the Pension list. It appears that he has conveyed his property to his son Archibald Dixon and in consideration thereof the son is obligated not only to pay the Claimants debts but to support him and his family during his life: under such circumstances a pension has in no case been granted because the law was
Wm H Agner And

intended to provide for those only who were unable to live but by public or private charity the papers will remain on the files of this Office agreeably to our regulations
I have the honor to be Very respectfully Your Obed Servt
J. L. Edwards
Hon Philip Thompson Chairman of the Committee
In reference to the papers filed in the War department and mentioned in the above letter my Commission may be found which I enclosed with other papers when applied in 1872 for a pension. There will also be found enclosed with said papers the Certificates of Major Thomas O'Donohoe & Peter Smith proving my services. As my Claims are granted I would be glad to hear from the department on the subject and the money is remitted as perhaps it might be safer for me to send info for it than to risk having it sent by mail. I am old afflicted and poor, and will gratefully acknowledge any attention which may be bestowed in adjusting my claim. Please write to me as soon as possible on the subject and let me know whether I am to succeed or not.
Hon. Richard Rush Secretary of the Treasury
Respectfully & O Wynne Dixon
